Winning the genetic lottery and making millions shouldn’t cause you to forget the infractions of these 13 famous athletes who violated the G-Code. Hit the jump and see who’s nice on the field, but probably a douchebag in real life.

Kobe Bryant

Perhaps the most shocking detail of Kobe Bryant’s 2003 sexual assault case was that he voluntarily snitched on his rival/championship teammate Shaq. Kobe allegedly told authorities he should just pay his jumpoffs hush money like Shaq.

Floyd Mayweather

Let’s assume Floyd Mayweather has a lot of high quality trim at his disposal. Why would he lie and say he smashed Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, who isn’t exactly supermodel material? We’ll never know, but on July 18, 2014, cameras (allegedly) caught Floyd saying, “I f***ed the b***h” in regards to T.I.’s wife.

Warren Sapp

There’s not really a precedent for an NFL hall of famer continuously cavorting with prostitutes and beating them up as if he’s a character from Grand Theft Auto. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Warren Carlos Sapp.

Larry Nance Jr.

Discussing what another man does or doesn’t do in the bedroom is a code red G-Code violation. If you’re going to do it, you should at least get your facts straight. This is why Larry Nance Jr. approached Kobe Bryant with his hat in hand after a 2012 tweet that read, “Gee I sure hope Kobe can keep his hands to himself in Denver this time.. #Rapist.”

Bill Belichick

Yeah, yeah…Belichick is a coach not an athlete. But he’s so foul we can make an exception. As if “Spygate” wasn’t enough, Belichick completely threw his franchise QB Tom Brady under the bus when the pair were under suspicion for tampering with game balls in their 2015 AFC Championship throttling of the Indianapolis Colts. Belichick shrugged off reporters and basically said, “You’ll have to ask Tom if he cheated or not.”

Kevin Garnett

One of the things off limits during trash talking is taking shots at another man’s wife. Carmelo Anthony was waiting outside the Boston Celtics locker room to give Kevin Garnett a standard issue fade after K.G. allegedly told ‘Melo his wife Lala tasted like Honey Nut Cheerios.

O.J. Simpson

That’s right. The Juice earns a spot here for his entire post-NFL existence. The bounty to find Nicole Brown’s killer, the fact he almost wrote a book entitled If I Did Do It, and him doing fed time for trying to steal back his Heisman Trophy are all reason enough here.

Allen Iverson

Everyone loves to focus on the infamous “practice” rant. But in July of 2002, a police report cited A.I. for allegedly kicking his naked wife out of their house. That’s just cold.

Alex Rodriguez

Friends generally don’t tend to slander each other in interviews. But, in a classic case of A-Rod being A-Rod, he gave a few media outlets some cold truth about his soon to be former friend. In 2000, Rodriguez told ESPN Jeter lacked power numbers, and months later, he told Esquire Jeter never had to lead. Just like that, the former pals became frenemies.

Carmelo Anthony

NBA contracts are generally fully guaranteed, and there are only 450 of them issued in any given year. ‘Melo broke the G-code by hating on former teammate Jeremy Lin’s financial situation in 2012 by saying, “It’s up to the organization to say they want to match that ridiculous contract that’s out there.” Carmelo would know a thing or two about ridiculous contracts.

Luis Suarez

Regardless of how nice your soccer skills are, if you’re out on the field biting dudes, then you’re not a G.

Brennan Clay

First Brennan Clay put his wife Gina on blast by publicizing a series of text messages accusing his former college teammate DeMarco Murray was blowing out her back. Then Clay recanted his allegations and apologized. The final straw would be Clay being arrested on domestic violence charges for beating his soon-to-be ex-wife. Three strikes and you’re out, bruh.

Albert Belle

Former Cleveland Indians slugger Albert Belle hit a kid with his car for egging his house. Belle was also convicted of planting a GPS device on an escort and stealing her phone records. That gives him two violations for the price of one.
